Problem/activity:
Problem 1
Solve using the standard algorithm. If you get stuck, use an area model and/or the partial products algorithm to help. Then assess the reasonableness of your answer.
a.
$$5,803\times46$$
b.
$$63\times2,116$$
Problem 2
Dunkin' introduced a croissant doughnut in 2014. In the first three months of its debut, they sold 7,870 dozen of them per day. How many croissant doughnuts were sold in the first three months?


Standard options: 
A. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.
B. Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
C. Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.


Thought: This set of problems involves multi-digit whole numbers because the numbers in each problem are four and two digit integers, and the mathematical calculations involved in both problems focus on multiplication. The first problem explicitly asks the student to solve its subproblems using the standard algorithm.
Answer: C

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

options: Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. (Computations with rational numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to complex fractions.)

Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram.

Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.
problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this activity is for students to continue interpreting signed numbers in context and to begin to compare their relative location. A vertical number line shows the heights above sea level or depths below sea level of various animals. The number line is labeled in 5 meter increments, so students have to interpolate the height or depth for some of the animals. Next, they are given the height or depth of other animals that are not pictured and asked to compare these to the animals shown.
As students work, monitor for whether they are expressing relative distances in words, for example “3 meters below,” or if they are expressing the same idea with notation, as in -3 meters. Both are acceptable; these ideas are connected in the discussion that follows (MP2). Also monitor for students who notice that there are two possible answers for the last question.
Launch
Display the image for all to see. Tell students to measure the height or depth of each animal's eyes, to the nearest meter. Remind students that we choose sea level to be our zero level, in the same way that we chose a zero level for temperature.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Represent the same information with additional structure. If students are unsure where to begin, suggest that they extend a straight horizontal line at each depth to determine the height or depth of each animal.
Supports accessibility for: Visual-spatial processing; Conceptual processing
Conversing, Representing: MLR2 Collect and Display.
Use this routine to capture the language students use during discussion with a partner. Collect the language of opposites: “above” or “below.” For example, “The albatross is 3 meters above the penguin or the penguin is 3 meters below the albatross.” Then, identify students who use negative numbers to describe these differences to share their reasoning during the whole-class discussion. Ensure students connect this language to, “The difference in height is +3 (to represent above) or -2.5 (to represent below).”
Design Principle(s): Maximize meta-awareness

Here is a picture of some sea animals. The number line on the left shows the vertical position of each animal above or below sea level, in meters.

How far above or below sea level is each animal? Measure to their eye level.
A mobula ray is 3 meters above the surface of the ocean. How does its vertical position compare to the height or depth of:
The jumping dolphin?
The flying seagull?
The octopus?
An albatross is 5 meters above the surface of the ocean. How does its vertical position compare to the height or depth of:
The jumping dolphin?
The flying seagull?
The octopus?
A clownfish is 2 meters below the surface of the ocean. How does its vertical position compare to the height or depth of:
The jumping dolphin?
The flying seagull?
The octopus?
The vertical distance of a new dolphin from the dolphin in the picture is 3 meters. What is its distance from the surface of the ocean?

The north pole is in the middle of the ocean. A person at sea level at the north pole would be 3,949 miles from the center of Earth. The sea floor below the north pole is at an elevation of approximately -2.7 miles. The elevation of the south pole is about 1.7 miles. How far is a person standing on the south pole from a submarine at the sea floor below the north pole?

Anticipated Misconceptions
If students measure to the top or bottom of the animal, remind them that we are using the eyes of the animal to measure their height or depth.
Some students may struggle to visualize where the albatross, seagull, and clownfish are on the graph. Consider having them draw or place a marker where the new animal is located while comparing it to the other animals in the picture.
Activity Synthesis
The main point for students to get out of this activity is that we can represent distance above and below sea level using signed numbers. The depths of the shark, fish, and octopus can be expressed as approximately -3 m, -6 m, and -7.5 m respectively, because they are below sea level.
Signed numbers can also be used to represent the relative vertical position of different pairs of animals. Have selected students share their responses and reasoning for how the heights of the albatross, seabird, and clownfish compare to the dolphin, seagull, and octopus. Record and display their verbal descriptions using signed numbers. For example, if a student says the albatross is 7 meters below the seagull, write "-7".
Finally, ask whether students noticed the ambiguity in the last question (about the height of the new dolphin). Ask such a student to explain why there are two possible answers to the last question.
